I need to use placeholder in TEdit control.

Checking the help files I am seeing a Placeholder property exists in the TInputElement.

How can I use this? How can Placeholder by set in a TEdit control?

There are some issues with using placeholders with input elements, which is why they aren't used:

1) They're IE10 or higher
2) There are some bugs in IE10 and IE11 with placeholders

I was going to add support for them by just adding an element to the input control interfaces, but ran out of time with EWB 2.  It's still on the list, though.
